Do you notice a difference between two wheels or are you just trying to figure out why your brakes fade really fast?

Keep in mind if you're talking about brake temp differences between wheel sizes, you have to keep everything else constant before you can really point to that. As in running same tire, similar ambient temps, similar driving patterns, etc.

I'm curious to hear what you're thinking. I've never heard of smaller wheels causing issues there, in fact everywhere suggests as small as you can go for the track and still fit over your brakes.
Not blaming the wheels at all, just wondered if it was a common issue with the 17x9 fitment. I have changed too many things to blame the wheels.
